【Working Twin-Lens Reflex Camera】Beautyflex II Type (Inventory Number: TLR-7)

This is a twin-lens reflex camera released around 1951 by Taiyodo Koki Co., Ltd.

Both the taking and viewing lenses are DOIMER 1:3.5 f=8.0cm, and the shutter is TKK B, 1/5 to 1/200 sec., all manufactured by Taiyodo Koki. Incidentally, the lens name was derived from the name of Taiyodo Koki's president at the time, Doi. TKK are the initials of the company name.
The focusing mechanism is front element rotation, and the connection between the upper and lower lenses is via gears.
The back cover is also removable.

The body has scratches and dirt consistent with its age, but the leatherette is relatively well-preserved. There are signs of touch-up paint where the black coating has peeled.
There is black dirt on the film guide rails, but it is not expected to affect photography.

The viewfinder mirror has some cloudiness and dirt, making it feel a bit dimmer compared to when it was new. However, twin-lens reflex viewfinders are not particularly bright to begin with.
A direct vision viewfinder (sports finder) is not equipped.

Both lenses have some dirt and cloudiness. This may slightly affect image quality.

The shutter is operating normally at all speeds.
The anti-slip button that was attached to the shutter lever is missing, so a nut has been attached as a substitute, but this does not interfere with shooting.
There are no abnormalities in the aperture operation.

While subjective, considering it is a 70-year-old camera, the condition is good, and it should be usable for actual photography.
